The Trade and Development Symposium (TDS), organised by the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) for over a decade, is an unmatched opportunity to bridge gaps between multi-stakeholders engaged in the trade and sustainable development process.

This four day symposium will be held alongside the WTO Ministerial Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, 14-17 December. This inclusive multi-stakeholder platform - outside the WTO Ministerial negotiation setting - reaches beyond the traditional trade community by also engaging policymakers at large, the private sector, NGOs, IGOs, think tanks, academia, and civil society with a view to identifying policy options to address the existing and emerging challenges.
